The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

The last time I went to the Grand Canyon, I was reminded of not only incredible it is but how many people go to see it every year. We go because it’s far more than just a hole in the ground. It testifies to something greater than that and we all know it. The Creator.

[NeoDemocedes]

Yea. It's actually BETTER if you don't have a great deal of education of any kind. Just the ability to listen, and not think too much, and just believe whatever they tell you.

[sopad]

God is always here. We’re not always aware of it but he’s here.

[andrewsm]

Ahhh, the good ol’ “look at the trees” argument 😂

[jiubboatman]

And the special pleading kicks in at the extremely precise god you happen to have been raised to believe in (In most cases. Strange thing that god is cultural.).

Don't forget this argument can be made by every religion that claims a creator god or gods.

[Mountainspirit]

Exactly, when i am in nature and se all these woderfull, perfect harmony of sounds, visual, all these plants, animals, sun and all that smells i canonly cry and admire the PERFECT GOD'S CREATION... Nothing more is necessary, that is all i need, i see God creation in all of that beautiful fine tunning simfonly who never could not
arise by chance, but exclusively with the help of God, fine-tuning and perfect creation...

Hebrews 11:3 KJVS
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

[KamiNoRanger]

To say the universe just exists for no reason and was not created but came into being is like saying the phone I’m typing on just happened to one day exist. Wasn’t created, just exists. The universe is certainly more complex than a phone, so why does the phone need a creator but we don’t?

[natehewett]

But this is just an assertion. You can't demonstrate it.

After humans became self aware, but before they had scientific knowledge and understanding, they didn't know how to explain how we got here and decided a greater being must be out there that made us. This is why with little scientific knowledge (or the intentional denying of scientific findings) it only makes sense to believe there is a greater being who made us. With learning things in science, it very quickly becomes understandable how we came to be without there being a greater being who made us (as evidenced by the climbing numbers of atheists and agnostics as science progresses). And honestly it's a lot more fascinating too. Not to say there for sure isn't a greater being that helped make us through the process we can learn about through science, but certainly saying that the greater beings that are talked about in literature can be shown as false through the scientific and historical inaccuracies vampant throughout the texts - especially the one in the Bible, which is the one people are thinking about in this video.

Frank Turek has been in the apologetics space for a long time. Impossible that he hasn’t come across any critiques of his. Keeps on repeating the same things from his debates for over a decade ago

[dvalahelvete]

It is weird how every god worshipped on this planet fails to prove himself.

[Ponera-Sama]

Aquinas didn't know about Newton's laws of motion, which show that movement can be as much of a natural state as non-movement and there is no reason to assume the latter has to be the default.

[ellacrup]

All Christians agree that Thomas Aquinas had a great mind. Was he wrong by being catholic?

[Faint]

These arguments don’t require scientific knowledge or empiric evidence all right. In fact, having scientific knowledge about anything actually seems so work against these arguments and they rely entirely on a lack of empiricism.

[kiwisaram]

Logic, philosophy, apologetics and the scientific method must fail us in discovering God for no one can ascend to heaven while they presently know so little. Our so called discovering is but a revelation from heaven as no one can come to Christ unless God draws them, and no one can come to the father but through Christ. Let God prove God!

[pauljasmine]

Let's not forget, Saint Thomas Aquinas was a Roman Catholic.

[francx_o]

How do you know infinite regressions aren't allowed in the universe?

[richard]

So, if you have proof that there's a God, then faith is no longer needed, right?
